If you drive past it's okay, a short trip but a nice view from the ruins

Right along the road, easy to stop by. There are no signs, so you can drive almost to the castle (but a steep gravel path). Nice for a short stop, but not very special to drive an hour for.

A very short walk, like 5 minutes. It’s beautiful. We walked through the forest on our way back. It was worth it for me!

Idyllic place with a beautiful view. Definitely worth a stop.

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
